    Unfortunately there is another quote (I forget the original author) that
    most marketing droids I know like better. Something along the lines of:

    Speak ill of me if you must, speak kindly if you will, but for goodness
    sake speak of me.

    So I'm not sure market droids would be bothered by Dr. Feynman very much. :(
